DoctorRetro Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 No, bigger tank in this. 34 quid to fill it the other day, from just above the red. Oh, and I've done nearly 100 miles since full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETCHY Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Lovely little car. I was in Malta recently & saw quite a few of these, they really are a cool shape. The pic of it near that modern Maserati barge is very telling, shows how ridiculously bloated a lot of modern cars are. Bamboocarman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwrlwm Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It would look nice with 13 inch steelies with chrome hubcaps, picture of my Cuore with Golf mk1 alloys,165/65 13inch., Kelisa is the same car, but with different front end,rear suspension is not the same.

DoctorRetro Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Well that's the dodgy tyre situation sorted. Looks a bit over-wheeled, can you believe they are only 14s? ? As a plus point, the speedo is now more accurate! Jim Bell, BL Bloke, loserone and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 On full lock, frontt tyre just catches the inner arch. Rears did slightly touch the bumper - for a couple of miles ? Has to have spacers on the rears to clear the rear suspension arms. Would have been fine with smaller tyres. paulplom and HarmonicCheeseburger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorRetro Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Washing machine ordered. Why is this relevant you ask? Because I'm collecting it in the Kelisa.

Were lying around someone's yard so I was given them for free. 2 tyres are enduros and 2 are Landsails. 185/65/14s Quite small offset so modern and FWD, maybe Primera?

Oddly enough, due to the bumper shape, it will probably scrape less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Dremmel required. My V70 had bits of carpet glued to the inner wings (factory fit) as they were expected to rub. The turning circle was still total dog shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
